Description
Cropmarks of at least two sub-rectangular enclosures. One enclosure, located approximately 300m north-west of Keelings, is approx. 32m across with at least two apparent entrances. The second enclosure appears less substantial and is located 500m north of Keelings and is approximately 36m across, with two apparent entrances on the west side. There is evidence of other cropmarks in the area including a possible third enclosure to the east of the second, but the cropmark is not as clear. <1>
The three enclosures and the field boundaries depicted on the first edition Ordnance Survey 6-inch map <3> were mapped as part of the 2010 NMP update.
